My dvd will not open to release the disc - Dell Inspiron 700M Notebook

Answers :

Turn off the computer and use a clip and insert it on the little hole under the eject button in the CD tray. It will force the tray to open. It requires some patience.

The disk is **** or the drive is not making contact with the unit first gently push the drive in and see if that works, if not you need to take out the drive and investigate a manual eject method. You may have a bad drive its hard to tell from a email solution type of problem solving skill here. As the question was not detailed its hard for me to give a exact cause of whats going on. Be detailed and you will get streight forward stroung solutions. \015\012\015\012Hope this helps please do rate the solution.
